“As a former professional goalkeeper and current coach at Chelsea Football Club Academy, I’ve had the privilege of working with many aspiring goalkeepers and Daisy stands out as one of the most driven and coachable individuals I’ve come across. Her work ethic is exceptional, matched by a genuine hunger to learn and improve. Daisy consistently applies coaching points with focus and intent, whether during on-field sessions or through off-field analysis, including her engagement with Goalkeeper Elite resources such as those featuring Mary Earps. She demonstrates a mature understanding of the position and a willingness to embrace feedback, which I think is vital for long term development. Beyond her technical promise, Daisy brings an infectious positivity and a brilliant attitude to every environment. She’s not only a talented goalkeeper but also a joy to work with, respectful, sociable and deeply committed to her growth both as an athlete and as a person.”
“Daisy has been a true success story. Her positive attitude, strong work ethic, and eagerness to learn were regularly recognised by the coaching team. She will be a valuable asset to any squad and is an excellent example of an exceptional sportswoman, both on and off the pitch.”
